Hello Ciaoers- some of the older members may remember me! This is my first op for months and months so excuse me if I'm a little rusty. I've been so busy with a new job I have, which involved seven-day shifts, that I've simply been too busy and exhausted to keep up with Ciao or the rest of the internet! However now I feel used to the hours, the new job with the better pay has allowed me to buy lots of new things to review on Ciao so I'm back with a venegeance! One of the things I've wanted for ages has been a personal CD player but I somehow never got round to buying one. Then one day in town ... more

...it has a mains charger, which is far more economical than buying hundred of batteries when you could just as easily plug it into your wall socket when listening to it at a friend's or at yours. The battery life is generally longer depending on what batteries you use. Ideally Duracells are the best value for money and last longest. As with many CD Players now, it has 40 seconds Antishock and up to 50 hours playback time on two AA batteries. It has the bass boost and can play any home made cd's that you decide to make on your cd-rewriter. It has programmable play meaning you can play your ... more

I bought this item on E-Bay and have been happy ever since, I wanted a CD Walkman but not one that was too expensive! I have had this now for 2 weeks and only put in ''normal'' batteries and it is still going! I have yet to change it. I listen every morning to work and every evening back and it is still going! This has truly amazed me as I assumed I would need rechargable - but on normal batteries it has lasted 2 weeks which is a total surprise! There is a button to change the bass so if you prefer more bass then it sounds awesome. The sound is quite good and goes quite high although you ... more

I have owned this Portable CD Player since December 2003, and I can say I am very happy with its performance and sound output. The sleek silver styling and chrome buttons and finishes give it that very expensive look but only cost £39.99, it also has a digital display that shows the track number and song time and also displays the different functions. and volume level. It takes two AA batteries or can also be powered by a 4.5Volt adaptor. The sound output is amazing especially with full bass is switched on. Two things I do not like about this Cd player is that the batteries only last about ... more

This is a very solid personal CD player with a range of features and an excellent battery life. One set of batteries has lasted me 6 weeks with around 1 1/2 hours a week listening time. It sits happily at the bottom of my bag and plays as i walk along. It plays CD's and CD-R/CD-RW so it is compatible with home-ripped music. But if the headphone jack isnt situated at the correct angle, the sound goes fuzzy, on mine anyway, dont know about all of them. I got it as a present, but ive seen them in the £40 - £49.99 price range, and the prduct seems average for this boundary. If you are looking for ... more
